Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy/issues/8332

Bug Description

Upon a fresh installation of AppFlowy, the application launches correctly to the welcome/login screen. However, after either logging in or selecting "Local Mode," the application immediately crashes. Subsequent attempts to open AppFlowy result in only a brief white screen before it crashes again.
The only way to return to the initial login screen is to completely uninstall the software and delete all associated user configuration data. However, the problem repeats as soon as I try to log in or use local mode again.

How to Reproduce

Perform a fresh install of AppFlowy .
Launch the application. The welcome/login screen appears successfully.
Either log in with an account or select the "Local Mode" option.
The application crashes/closes abruptly.
Try to reopen AppFlowy.
Actual Result: A white window appears for a moment, then the application crashes again.
Workaround: Uninstalling AppFlowy and manually deleting its configuration folder allows you to see the login screen again

Expected Behavior

After logging in or selecting "Local Mode," the application should open the main workspace interface successfully. Subsequent launches should open directly to the workspace without crashing.

Operating System

Operating System: [Windows 11 25H2]

AppFlowy Version(s)

AppFlowy Version: [AppFlowy-0.10.3-windows-x86_64]

After doing that, are you able to log in successfully?

Hello, the result is still no go. I tried the historical versions and came to a conclusion: versions before the release of 0.9.3 (including 0.9.3) can be used normally, but the same problem occurs in all newer versions than 0.9.3.

Hi @Elysifyre, can you try this package: AppFlowy Release 0.10.4-crash-251114-1040?

Please note that the Windows exe is not code-signed, but it's safe to use.
